Viewing WAN statistics
7
3. Refer to the Received field to reference data received over the Mobility 5181 Access Point WAN
port.
Status The Status field displays Enabled if the WAN interface is enabled
on the WAN screen. If the WAN interface is disabled on the WAN
screen, the WAN Stats screen displays no connection information
and statistics. To enable the WAN connection, see
“Configuring
WAN settings” on page 101
HW Address The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Mobility 5181
Access Point WAN port. The WAN port MAC address is hard coded
at the factory and cannot be changed. For more information on
how access point MAC addresses are assigned, see
“Mobility
5181 Access Point MAC address assignment” on page 21.
IP Addresses The displayed Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for the Mobility
5181 Access Point WAN port.
Mask The Mask field displays the subnet mask number for the Mobility
5181 Access Point’s WAN connection. This value is set on the WAN
screen. Refer to
“Configuring WAN settings” on page 101 to
change the subnet mask.
Link The Link parameter displays Up if the WAN connection is active
between the Mobility 5181 Access Point and network, and Down if
the WAN connection is interrupted or lost. Use this information to
assess the current connection status of the WAN port.
Speed The WAN connection speed is displayed in Megabits per second
(Mbps), for example, 54Mbps. If the throughput speed is not
achieved, examine the number of transmit and receive errors, or
consider increasing the supported data rate. To change the data
rate of the 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio, see
“Configuring the
802.11a or 802.11b/g radio” on page 121.
RX Packets RX packets are data packets received over the WAN port. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN interface
was last enabled or the Mobility 5181 Access Point was last
restarted.
RX Bytes RX bytes are bytes of information received over the WAN port. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN interface
was last enabled or the access point was last restarted. To restart
the Mobility 5181 Access Point to begin a new data collection, see
“Configuring system settings” on page 45.
RX Errors RX errors include dropped data packets, buffer overruns, and
frame errors on inbound traffic. The number of RX errors is a total
of RX Dropped, RX Overruns and RX Carrier errors. Use this
information to determine performance quality of the current WAN
connection.
RX Dropped The RX Dropped field displays the number of data packets that fail
to reach the WAN interface. If this number appears excessive,
consider a new connection to the device.
